<p>Two functions are provided for a Diffie-Hellman-style key agreement where each party combines its own private key with the peer’s public key.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The recommended approach is to use a <a class="reference internal" href="kdf.html#kdf"><span class="std std-ref">key derivation operation</span></a> with the <a class="reference internal" href="#c.psa_key_derivation_key_agreement" title="psa_key_derivation_key_agreement"><code class="xref any c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">psa_key_derivation_key_agreement()</span></code></a> input function, which calculates a shared secret for the key derivation function.</li>
<li>Where an application needs direct access to the shared secret, it can call <a class="reference internal" href="#c.psa_raw_key_agreement" title="psa_raw_key_agreement"><code class="xref any c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">psa_raw_key_agreement()</span></code></a> instead.

<p>A raw key agreement algorithm is one that does not specify a key derivation function.
